RIP Squiggy

I love Animal Planet's Meerkat Manor, but it is truly heartwrenching. Len and Squiggy were Flower's latest offspring. Oh my god, they were sooooo adorable. Especially poor Squiggy, who was a runt born with a deformed paw. After endearing the pups to us viewers, Mother Nature had to go and intervene. Len ended up as a falcon's lunch when the family didn't protect him, and then they abandoned Squiggy in the desert because he couldn't keep up or forage his own food. Waaah!
